For the Love of Typos

Is there anyone among us who has not made a typo?  No, there is not.  We are all guilty of typos, some are just more proficient at them than others.  I have a very dear friend who has made some of the best typos that I have ever read.  I really wish that I had kept a list of all of them, but I have not.  However, there is one that is very dear to my heart.  No one has ever before complimented my backside in such fine way.  The typo was hilarious, and was quickly blamed on the keyboard of the iphone.  Whatever.

I immediately received a text message telling me to get online NOW and delete that comment.  Well, I got online, but I could not delete the comment.  It was priceless.  She meant to say:  AWWWW so nice.  That's that not what she said however.  Granted the S key is just right there under the W key, and the iphone can take the blame....WHATEVER.  Along came the explanation:  OMG DELETE THAT OMG NOW THAT IS THE WORST TYPO EVER IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE AWWWW   


This friend has now become the queen of typos.  Every typo she makes must be commented on.  I love how she tells me to shut up before I even have a chance to comment.  If I let one slide by, she becomes paranoid that I might not have noticed, and she is waiting for the slam.  


So often a typo is so good that it becomes the new word, or expression.  The same queen of typos, you just gotta love her and her typos, created the a new one for us.  She wanted to make a heart using the < key and the 3 key, which is supposed to make a heart <3.  I think she temporarily forgot the procedure and therefore shared a comment with 3333.  I'm glad she did this, because now I don't have to consciously think how to make the <3, I can just hit the 333333 key, and she knows that I heart her the most. 



While chatting on Facebook with another friend, I told her that I was so grustrated about something.  Now the two of us seldom are frustrated about anything, but sure do get grustrated about everything.  Another easy typo, and I wish that I wasn't so proficient at this one.  I will often type now in the place of know, or know in the place of now.  Of course, I don't see that until I have shared the comment.  In all of my writings, it doesn't matter how many times I read or re-read something I have written, I will always find a typo, or two, or three, after I have posted what I have written.  What was so difficult to spot in the readings before posting is now a flashing beacon in red.  And it is always followed by, IDIOT, IDIOT, IDIOT!


So...for the love of typos....just laugh when you see one, and now the person who wrote it didn't really mean to make the typo.  Know, not now.  See what I mean?
